Michelle Obama's speech is considered the highlight of the DNC Convention 2012. Her speech is expected to reflect that of Ann Romney's at the Republican Nation Convention. Mitt Romney's wife gave testimony of her immigrant parents and the American dream, as well as her early, modest years married to the Republican nominee.

The DNC convention 2012 will feature performances from top music artists. Mary J. Blidge, Foo Fighters, and Marc Anthony. Betty White has also been nominated by fans as the Democratic mystery guest speaker to counter Clint Eastwood's speech at the RNC. Word of whether the comedic actress will take a role in the DNC convention 2012 has yet to be confirmed.
A little less than 6,000 delegates are predicted to be attending the event. Keynote Speaker and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro and former President Bill Clinton will also be delivering speeches.
Michelle Obama has become a much loved figure in the United States, with her obesity campaign and her informal yet likable personality allowing every day Americans relate to her as a concerned mother and wife trying to do what she thinks is right.
PBS, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News will be televising the convention from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
CBS, NBC, and ABC, will cover the Democratic Convention only from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.
However, NBC will skip convention coverage on Wednesday to show the opening game of the NFL season - the Dallas Cowboys vs. the New York Giants.
